About us

A local firm that builds the way we'd want our own homes built

Base2Build are residential builders working across Northamptonshire, Buckinghamshire & beyond — from Northampton and Kettering to Milton Keynes and Aylesbury.

Base2Build started with two builders, one van and a simple idea: do what you said you'd do, and tell you the truth about a job before it starts.

Today we're a small, close-knit team working across Northamptonshire & Buckinghamshire — and further afield when the job is right. We focus only on residential work — lofts, extensions and renovations — which means we know the housing stock, the planning quirks and the local building control inspectors well.

Every project has a single project manager who's on site, on the phone and on your side from the first visit to the final inspection.

What you can expect

How we work

One point of contact

A single project manager from the first visit to handover — and if anything changes along the way, we talk it through and find a way to make it work.

Our own trades

Most of the work is done by our own team, not a rotating cast of subcontractors.

Fully insured

Public liability and contract works insurance on every job we take on.

Tidy, considerate sites

Swept daily, neighbours kept informed, and your home treated like it matters — because it does.
